Zoo

I visited the Zoo and it is a pleasant place to see some of the animals living in Bolivia including a Jaguar who was chasing a Slot (see pictures) in his open cage, He got it and went to the water to ground it. Nice birds and Parrots in a big open cage and old trees, a rather relaxing and well maintained place in this city.
